"Turkey to begin mass production of respirators amid coronavirus pandemic, 300,000 quick test kits to arrive from China by Thursday," Health Minister Fahrettin Koca said late Monday.

"Turkey has added more than 32,000 new health personnel around the country to fight against coronavirus pandemic," he added.

The minister also stated that Turkey has shipped over medicine from China that has proved effective in treating the coronavirus and health personnel have started administering it to the patients under intensive care units.

"We have patients who are recovering from COVID-19, we will release details on recovery rates in the coming days," he added.

Turkey on Sunday confirmed nine more deaths from COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, as the total number of confirmed cases in the country rose to 1,256.





The novel coronavirus first emerged in Wuhan, China last December and has spread to at least 169 countries and regions, according to data compiled by the U.S.-based Johns Hopkins University.

More than 329,000 confirmed cases have been recorded worldwide with the death toll now approaching 14,400, while over 97,000 have recovered.

Despite the rising number of cases, most who become infected suffer only mild symptoms and recover.

The World Health Organization has declared the outbreak a pandemic.

A map showing where the disease is located would keep population informed, and caution them to be careful.

I'm wondering why we have a lot of deaths ? We are close to Israel in the number of infected people but they have zero deaths

Most likely because they use medication to combat the virus. Teva is donating 16 million malaria pills to the US. According to danish press berlingske.

while our minister calls it medicin from China, teva is able to produce the same drug themselves.

Because nations report deaths differently.

Turkish defense firms back domestic medical ventilator
Baykar, Aselsan, Havelsan, TAI to support ventilator producer BIOSYS as device becomes instrumental in COVID-19 treatment

ISTANBUL

Turkish defense firms are supporting the domestic production of medical ventilators which are critical in treating COVID-19.

With severe shortness of breath a hallmark of the novel coronavirus, the global pandemic has increased the need for medical ventilators, resulting in fresh impetus across the globe to research and manufacture the devices.

A Turkish technology venture, BIOSYS, has produced the first indigenous medical ventilator device after a five-year research and development efforts.

Selcuk Bayraktar, the chief technology officer of unmanned aerial vehicle producer Baykar, said on Sunday that his company ordered 250 ventilator devices from BIOSYS to support the company.

Baykar will donate these devices for the government to use in hospitals or send to friendly nations, Bayraktar said on Twitter. Bayraktar also heads the T3 Foundation -- the organizer of the country's largest aviation and technology event Teknofest.

"I invite all our Teknofest stakeholders and those who want to contribute, to participate in this campaign as much as possible, during a period when the importance of developing domestic and national technologies is revealed," he added.

After the invitation, Turkey's defense giants Aselsan and Havelsan, as well as aviation company TAI announced that they would also support BIOSYS.

Haluk Gorgun, the CEO of Aselsan, said the defense company had also ordered 250 devices from BIOSYS.

"We have decided not only to order the device, but also to provide engineering and infrastructure support to all domestic and national companies, which are making production in this field," he noted.

Ahmet Hamdi Atalay, the general manager of Havelsan, said the company would also support the production of the indigenous device.

TAI will also participate in the campaign, Temel Kotil, the head of the company, announced.

After the firms' messages of support, Mustafa Varank, the country's minister of technology and industry, tweeted that the ministry would continue with its national technology movement in the health sector.

do we produce the malaria medicin and are we able to produce hiv medicine against corona?
I think we should focus on that and bring it out to our hospitals if it helps!

Support means biyosys was not able to grow by itself. Buy the company from the current useless ppl. And make it grow give it to Baykar.
